mexico/soundart/blah blah (@dustin)

[gunjack]

dustin, mexico has tons of corny minimal and electro posers playing punkerz here, posing and doing shitty blow. my brother and i, and a select group of othjers however, like archangel constatin etc. find cool buildings in the center and do noise and sound art shows, live techno shows in abandoned turn of the century building s in the hidden parts of downtown DF sometimes happen at around 148 bpm, with my bro going 160 hehe. no schranz or hardcore though, more broody gltichy techno at high speeds.

myself, my big bro fork, sintoma, matt k, tetric, we are pretty much the only ones who connect techno to the arts and clutural scene here, mixing lineups between circuit bending performances, live hip hop, hard techno and all sorts of freaky max msp madness.


we had a festival planned for october with showcases by lots of cats, i nvited octave one and kenny larkin, but the investors backed out after all of the chaos in the streets due to the percieved fraud in the recnet elections.

anyway we do hole in the wall clubs, rent out blown out spots downtown, all for 20 or 30 dollars a night in beer hehe. i mean i didnt move here for the "scene" i came to record and learn from my bro fork, be a part of something more cultural and DIY/Ground up and even though it is ****ING frustrating most of the time, slowly but surely we are drawing more ppl and more international attention.


this isnt one of your hot spots like brazil, spain or japan. this is REAL PUT IN WORK KINDA STUFF


but at the end of the day, the mixture of all diferent kinds of extreme musics in certain events is somehing ppl have been trying to do for years and not really achieved with "trance/house/drum n bass/'techno'" events in usa etc.



the one key criteria to the crew we have going down here is that the music be RAW and so there has developed a sort of rivalry between our boys and the "artists" from this cornball agency called "IMECA"

these are the cheesey posers playing booka shade and thinking they are "minimal".

imeca has alot of $$$ but we have all the tight assed talent so its a classic struggle, they get all the work and we have to do our own events to even keep going....

but there is a certain clarity in that i guess. at the end of the day at least you still know what side you are on.... spain for example is a bit more complex due to micro cosmic trends in an advanced market.

anyway holla at ya boy

Do the knowledge to a nigga named Trigga
Bad rude boy from the land of Jamaica
With visions to venture, to the U.S.
To receive the gold that he couldn't acheive
In his country, even though he sold mad weed
For the next man, who was the Don of the clan
Niggaz actin like they got the block locked
Like I can't sling drug raps and eat food
But I be the rudest, bad boy steppin gun totin
Shots lash out like a violent explosion
At the nigga, who tries to stop my production
Intervene the scene and slow up the CREAM
None of that black, East New York, gun talk
Niggaz I extort from Baltic to Boardwalk
Memories of injuries wounds and burns
Walkin through the streets of Medina I stand firm
Cause I know this, which means I can hold mine down
Without a doubt, niggaz who front, get snuffed out
Justice must be born there's no escape
Cause a snake can't be reformed so I wait
Comin in the name to proclaim your fame for protection
And you don't know no ****in lessons?

[dan the acid man]

sounds like you have some good times over there

[gunjack]

this thread deteriorated nicely.

[thetonewrecka]

Back once again...it's the incredible.

So it sounds like two rival gangs patrol the underworld, I mean underground. Is it like an epic adventure day in and day out?

What's the best local food?

Where's the best deal on car detailing products like wax and polish?

Information Superhiway!

Hurry up, sucker
Go ahead and pick your squad
Try to play hard, but I'ma rob
You of your crazy notions to defeat me
Your weak see
I rock all courts
And even get down to give you a rematch
After I wax and tax that butt
When I slam the alley-oop
You can rally troops
But I play the awesome defense
I'll pick your pocket
And send you to the bench
With tears in your eyes as you realize
The prize is for me
Yes all the money
Son, my flow is too nice
My handle's precise
I'll fake you right and go left
Because my game's so def, and now you're mine

Good to hear you're enjoying it. It's funny...the more places I travel or talk to people, the more I find people think their area is always "struggling." I've been to the hot "techno" cities all over the world such as Berlin and I've been to shit like...Ohio, United States where there is ****ing NOTHING for techno. It's the same story at every one of those places...people are always struggling to try and make things happen. I think the real lesson is that it doesn't matter where you are, it's always going to be a struggle. It sucks, but on the bright side it's a character builder.

[gunjack]

tony really i am not interested.


dustin: at least you know who your friends are at the end of the day when thinks are more cut and dried


paul: your enthusiasm is incredible, i have your track whenever you want it hit me up!!!

[The Overfiend]

Nobody was addressing you,
I don't care what or what does not interest you at all.
I'm posting lyrics.
Don't remember addressing you personally.
